Hi

Every time I go to copy and paste a error message appears
saying that "cannot empty the clipboard". Any help would
be appreciated.

Thanks

Alan

Go here and make a shortcut C:\WINDOWS\system32\clipbrd.exe
Then open Clipboard and empty it.

I open the application the programme goes into busy mode

I can do would deleting the exe file clear the problem I
could then reinstall the clipboard.

Alan;
You're welcome for the reply. Did emptying the Clipboard help with your
other problem? I just opened Clipboard Viewer. It took thirteen seconds. I
don't know what deleting and reinstalling the exe file would do. Try it and
find out.
D:\I386\CLIPBRD.EX_
-----------------
What you might try first:
-----------------
copy:
expand d:\i386\clipbrd.ex_ c:\Windows\system32\clpbrd.exe
[Where d is the drive you have your XP CD in]
click Start
click Run
type: cmd
click OK
when the Command window pops up
at the cursor
right click
paste
expand d:\i386\clipbrd.ex_ c:\Windows\system32\clpbrd.exe
-----------------------------
Here is what I got when I did it:
==================
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\WESLEY P. VOGEL>expand d:\i386\clipbrd.ex_ c:\Windows\
system32\clpbrd.exe
Microsoft (R) File Expansion Utility Version 5.1.2600.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1990-1999. All rights reserved.

Expanding d:\i386\clipbrd.ex_ to c:\windows\system32\clpbrd.exe.
d:\i386\clipbrd.ex_: 41578 bytes expanded to 98816 bytes, 137% increase.
==================
Let us know what you find out. Keep on having fun. ;o)
 
Alan, (or anyone else for that matter

Did you ever resolve your issue? One of the guys in my office is having the same problem. I went into clipbrd.exe fine, but when I opened the "Clipboard" window it locked up in a busy state. I had to give it the good old three finger salute to stop the process. I'm running Excel 97 with a Windows NT 4.0 OS

Thanks
